Certainly a very minor question, in view of all the Covid-19 concerns. Does anyone have up-to-date info on effects of induction cooking and your pacemaker. Latest info on site is 4 years old.

Induction cooktops

Yes, they're dangerous IFF:

1) Your leads are unipolar (not likely anymore)

2) You lay down on the cooktop (well, you decide)

3) There is an off-center pot on the cooktop (Ok, could happen)

4) You are pacemaker dependent (are you?)

What I was told two years ago... and I'm pace-maker dependent.

A modern induction hob is no problem as long as you don't actually lie down on it while it's on. And if you do that, you need your head examining.

You know you're wired when...

You prefer rechargeable batteries.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
